The Church of Cyprus is facing a fresh wave of scandal, this time involving two clerics accused of unethical behavior. The new allegations have recently come to light, but insiders say they were first brought up during the investigation into the infamous "pink scandal" surrounding the Avakoum Monastery.
Although the individuals involved are not connected to the Avakoum Monastery itself, the accusations have raised eyebrows within the Church’s hierarchy. The complaints focus on clergymen from a particular Metropolis, which was established after the expansion of the Holy Synod. The allegations suggest that these clergymen were involved in receiving services of a sexual nature from individuals, and the transactions were reportedly made for a fee.
While the Church’s leadership has not confirmed whether an official investigation has been launched, the timing of these revelations is sure to stir controversy. The allegations are said to be under investigation by the Holy Synod, and their publication is expected to increase scrutiny of the Church's internal matters.
This new scandal is likely to intensify pressure on the Church’s hierarchy, which is already grappling with the fallout from previous controversies. As the investigation continues, many are asking whether the Church will take swift action or if this issue will remain unresolved.
